The STP Teaching Resources Wiki is now the Teaching of Psychology Idea Exchange (TOPIX) -- http://teachpsych.pbworks.com, renamed to better reflect the purpose of the site. Launched in late fall, the site continues to grow, now averaging 150 visitors per week. Although the site is still in its infancy, there is much content to browse. We have posted, for example, rubrics for grading APA-style papers; presentation slides that use animation to illustrate the size-distance illusion and the Stroop test, suitable for class use; videos from all over psychology, including TED videos of Oliver Sacks, Daniel Goleman, and Dan Gilbert; and resources created by other APA divisions, such as the "Curriculum Guide for Education on Child Maltreatment" courtesy of Div. 37: Society for Child and Family Policy and Practice. The core of the site revolves around classroom activities, videos, and our newest addition, 'In the News,' where summaries of articles from the popular press are linked to the original source and classroom-appropriate discussion questions are provided. If the news article refers to a journal article, look for the article citation and DOI in the summary. Anyone can visit ToPIX, but only members of the site can add content or offer comments. Click 'edit' on any page to join. If you find something useful to your teaching, please leave something for those who follow. We're looking forward to your contributions!
